What a Difference a Day Makes
World AIDS Day December 1
Give-A-Day to World AIDS proposes that we recognize World AIDS
Day, December 1st, each year by giving one day’s income
to an organization that will use the money well in the fight
against AIDS.
The Stephen Lewis Foundation just kicked off its 2008 national
Give-A-Day campaign. Give a Day is a unique, Canadian response
to the pandemic. It encourages the participation of individuals
in their workplaces, schools and communities. It is a powerful
response to the atrocity of the AIDS pandemic.
If you are interested in supporting this campaign, please visit

for more information.
